Problem - Moisturizers with SPF

[peachface]

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with moisturizers with UV protection. After I put it on, if I touch or rub my face even a bit, it balls up and flakes off - if that makes sense. Because of that (and I guess because a lot of them gave me zits), I haven't been really wearing sunscreen.

After reading about the Olay Total Effects here, I went and bought the regular kind and the SPF kind. Well, I'm quite happy with the regular one but I'm having my usual issue with the SPF one. Am I the only one with this problem? What is everyone doing to prevent the sunscreen from balling up and flaking off???

Thanks and have a great day!

Honestly, I don't have that problem with my SPF. I'm not sure why it would do that. You're not putting it over a primer right?

Thanks for replying!

even though my skin is oily this product made my skin dry and chalky. it didn't ball up and flake off, but it did seem to leave a film that i could see it under my makeup. i did want something to help control the oil, but this product seemed to leave me dehydrated. i didn't care for it at all. the only moisturizer i've used that has an spf15 and formulated for oily skin is aveeno skin brightening moisturizer. it left my skin with a new glow and t felt moist without being oily. also no white residue.
